Write quick Notes with ease…

February 2nd, 2008

ReviewI’m always wanting to write quick notes to myself- so that I won’t forget my brilliant ideas.

There are lots of tools for doing this, but most of them are not QUICK. This Yahoo-based widget named “Notes” IS QUICK…and simple. It has a very plain interface and has no formatting features, but if you want to write QUICK notes, this widget by Justin Li delivers the goods.

Pros: fast; no frills; top item is highlighted in a red bar for easy reading.
Cons: no formatting capabilities; some difficulty re-sizing.
Coolness factor: 2/5
Engine required: Yahoo Widget Engine

    Just found this. I wrote the widget because I was tired of starting notepad all the time, and having so many one line files on my desktop.

    On the other hand, I’ve switched to Linux, so I won’t be updating the widget any time soon.
